it got pretty hectic for about 3 weeks trying to get him to go to sleep, and then all of the sudden 2 days ago he got really really fussy so I just put him in his crib instead of his pack in play and he fell asleep on his own. so now naptime and bedtime I just put him in his room with the lights off and his music playing and he goes to sleep. children and sleep often times are a rollercoaster of good sleep and then they Regress, and then sleep again and then they start school, or you move so its all normal. Even 4 yr olds sometimes start waking up at night hear and there.

Going through the same thing. Put her down at 1, at 3 she was still awake and kept unplugging the baby monitor. Now I'm trying to coax her into my bed with Frozen and a nice warm cup of milk just so I can get back to making dinner...

What is going on today? Started at 1:30 trying to get him down. At 2:30 he was just dozing off when I notice he had pooped! Starting over now at 3:30. I don't even care if it's late. He is way too cranky!

I had to resort to Frozen too to get my little stink bug to take a nap too - she fell asleep in the high chair. Though nothing worked Monday- woke up 1:30am with a poopy diaper and wouldn't go back to bed until 5:30am. I get up at 6:30!!!!

Mine's apparently done with naps. She's NEVER, ever, ever slept through the night. She's an awful sleeper. But I was too at that age, so she'll just have to grow out of it. But I got sick of fighting her to take a nap every day and then fighting her at bed time too. She just wasn't tired enough to want to sleep... so now we're off naps.

She goes down in about 5 minutes flat now after being up for 12 hours. Plus it's an hour earlier bed time AND she gets up an hour later in the morning. Not sure if it will work for yours but you could try? My DD's definitely on the very top of the high energy spectrum though, and just has never needed as much sleep. I guess it would really depend on your kiddo and their sleep habits.

It's a phase for most, we just got through it (after a month), about a week ago.
She was the same, refused to nap, pooo while trying to fall asleep, laying down for bed at 9, not falling asleep until midnigbt or later.. A couple of times we just put her in bed with us, and she'd fall asleep after about 30 minutes.
We just started skipping naps, or having naps later in the day for about an hour.
She use to have a nap every day at 12-12:30pm and be asleep for about an hour, hour and a half. (Sometimes longer).
Now she takes a nap at 2pm, and sleeps until about 4. Dinner at 6. Bed at 8-9pm. Usually knocks out pretty quickly.
